2 tbsp butter (melted)

3 tbsp maple syrup or honey

2 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp cayenne pepper (adjust for heat)

1 tsp smoked paprika (optional but great flavor)

½ tsp salt

¼ tsp black pepper

 

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix glaze:

In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, maple syrup (or honey), brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, paprika, salt, and pepper until combined.

 

Add nuts, cheezits, and pretzels.

Toss the nuts into the mixture and stir until all are evenly coated.

Bake:

Spread nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast for 12 – 15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until they’re golden and fragrant.
